For the first few minutes, all Hussein and Brooks tried to do was restrain Kerry from tagging in his older brother.

Brooks then guillotined Kerry using the top rope.

After Hussein slammed Kerry on the concrete floor, Kevin took exception and made Hussein HIT THE POLE.

Hussein tagged in, attempted a back drop, but Kerry landed on his feet.

Hot tag Kevin.

Upon ramming Hussein into Brooks, Kevin got 2.

Brooks tagged in but ate a shot to the midsection.

When Kevin hit an elbow drop, he applied the Iron claw to Brooks’ midsection. Hopefully, Brooks waited until after the match to eat some Texas Frito pie.

Hussein then broke the hold as all four wrestlers were in the ring.

As Hussein tagged in, he tossed Kevin out of the ring.

The heels then gave Kerry a double slam followed by a catapult/right hand combo.

When they made a second attempt, Kevin mounted the top turnbuckle and hooked a sunset flip on Brooks.

1-2-3.

The Von Erichs won.

Rating: **

Summary: While the tag formula wasn’t done to perfection, the Dallas faithful ate everything the Von Erichs did with a Texas-sized spoon.

Conclusion: For those unfamiliar with WCCW, this was a good introduction as Shaft, Bundy, and the Von Erichs established themselves as babyfaces while Kabuki, Hussein, and Brooks generated heat with their heel shenanigans. If you’ve ever heard the expression “your daddy’s ‘rasslin’,” this show defines it. Next week, Kerry Von Erich faces the Great Kabuki. I can’t wait! Can you?
